Never saw one in the shops at all. I think I heard it had to do with some safety regulation. The ones that I know of all looked very old (at least 20 years or so)

Drugs aren't legal, they are condoned. There's a difference.
I'm not entirely sure why these many-in-one connectors, that plug directly
into a wall plug, are illegal, but it could be all kinds of reasons. Strain
on the connector could be one (but then again, wall-wart power supplies do
the same thing), maximum drained power per connector. I'm not the expert
here.
A question to Dutch people: when was the last time you saw such a device
being sold? Most of you probably can't remember. It could also be that they
are illegal in the whole of the EU.
